| | |  Harry Potter and Disney To Team Up?
Media insider Jim Hill has posted on his website that the magic world of Hogwarts may soon be found in the magical world of Disney, as Warner Brothers may be close to finalizing a deal with the Disney Company to create a Harry Potter themed attraction. Quote:
Jim,
I would appreciate it if you kept this anonymous. But I have a friend who works for the Warner Brother legal department, who actually sees the contracts. And they just sent me the following e-mail:
"You didn't hear it from me. But there may be a certain wizard visiting the mouse kingdom in the future."
Quote:
Yes. After several years of protracted negotiations with author J. K. Rowling as well as Warner Bros. (During which the Walt Disney Company had to pay out an estimated $140 million in order to land the network broadcasting rights for both "Sorcerer's Stone" and "Chamber of Secrets"), it appears that the Mouse is just inches away from finally acquiring the rights to use the characters and settings from all seven of the "Harry Potter" books in a theme park setting.
The entire article may be read here.
At present, this news must be treated as a rumor, as it is not yet confimed by Warner Brothers and apparently it has cropped up before!
Thanks to HPANA for the tip!  | |

Yay! how cool! I wish this rumor is true! Quote:
Aw,man! When I read the headline...I just knew it was something else.
You see,I've benn hoping and hoping that someone would think of the idea to make Harry Potter into an animated (cartoon) movie! (of course with permission and etc.) I just figured it'd be really cool to see HP animated (I mean they've got LEGO's!) and I don't think it would be so scary (as they claim) if it were animated. Just my idea...but a themed attraction,I guess I'm to old to be excited about that versus if I were 11. But it's still great news all the same
yeah,I was hoping they'll make a cartoon Harry Potter.and they can do it with every part from the books-without cutting scenes. |

cool! That'd be nice to do. I wonder what the attraction would look like, though. I got some ideas: the Chamber of secrets, Azkaban, Hogwarts itself...cool stuff.

That is aweeeeeesooooome!!!  I love Disney! Yey! *starts acting like a 5-year-old* If this happens my parents will have to take me there!
__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

I thought this was debunked a few days ago by VTM. I hope it doesn't happen. HP is already too commercialised.

i always dreamed about that! but oh no, i could go to eurodisney when i went to paris to visit my sister, but she's coming back to turkey in two weeks and she'll live here from now on so there's no chance of me seeing it! 
hope it is just a rumour because if not i'd be so jealous.  | |

I don't know if that would be a good or bad thing....Wouldn't it kinda change HP a lot if it was associated with Disney? Idk, it would be cool maybe to see HP stuff in the Disney world!

It would be nice if they finally sorted this out seen as it was rumoured not a while ago as well.

Meh. It was only a matter of time.
Hasn't the Disney Channel and ABC been showing the first two HP movies for years? I knew Disney would jump on the HP line as soon as legally possible.
(Nickelodeon is doing the same thing with Avatar; an Airbending-themed roller coaster is in the works!!)
